About Cold Case: Muncie

Debuting in 2010, Cold Case: Muncie is a recurring Star Press series that re-examines unsolved murders — some notable, some forgotten except to the family and friends of the victims — from the Muncie area over the past several decades.

The series, by Douglas Walker and Keith Roysdon, won the award for best news series in 2011 from the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists. An initial cold case story, marking the 25th anniversary of the Westside Park murders in 2010, won the 2011 Kent Cooper Award from the Indiana Associated Press.
